Thelma sent this picture postcard, dated Jan 18, 1912, from Shoals, Indiana to [John] Edwin Carr at the Indiana State School for the Deaf. She wrote: "Dear Cousin, I send you a picture of Papa and I taken at Lizzie Kilburn's. We were up at Indianapolis about 9 weeks ago. We didn't have time to come see you. Thelma Sheeks." Less than a year and a half later (20 June 1913), she had died from heart problems.
